36. Movies And Ice Cream (Part 2)

About twenty minutes later, Niall and I were stumbling through swarms of people who were walking down the busy downtown streets. When we arrived at the theatre, Niall went to buy the snacks and I lined up to buy the tickets. As I waited in line, I thought about how awkward it was to be asking for two adult tickets to a kids' movie which sounded as stupid as hell. "Next!" The cashier called, snapping me out of my thoughts. I walked up to the counter and the lady greeted me with an almost-too-cheery, "Hello! How can I help you today?" I smiled and replied, "I'd like two adult tickets to "The Nut Job" please." She tapped on the computer screen in front of her a couple times and asked, "Is that all?" "That's it." I replied. "Alright, that will be $21.34. Are you paying with cash or debit?" She asked. "Cash." I said, fishing $25.00 out of my wallet. I handed her the money as she popped open the cash register. She handed me the tickets and the change with a polite, "Thank you" and I walked away.

I met Niall at the snack bar and saw that he had bought a large popcorn, a bag of Skittles and two medium Cokes. I took the drinks off the counter and we walked off to get our tickets scanned. "You know how embarrassing it is to ask for adult tickets to "The Nut Job"?" I asked him when we sat down. We were right at the back, in the dark, so no one would see us. "No, but was it really that bad?" Niall countered. "Yes, yes it was." I replied. Niall took a handful of popcorn out of the bag and put it all in his mouth. "That's just beautiful." I stated, watching him struggle to chew all the popcorn. He laughed a little and took my hand, just as the movie began.

"That was literally the worst movie ever." I giggled as we exited the theatre. "But the plot line was interesting." Niall joked, both of us laughing. "Want to take a taxi home? It's kind of dark." Niall asked while stating the obvious. "Sure." I said and Niall took out his phone to call a taxi.

When I got home, I immediately changed into my pyjamas and got in bed. I put my phone on the side table and turned it on vibrate before I crawled under the covers. I thought of what a fun night I had with Niall, re-running all the highlights in my mind. I smiled and closed my eyes, slowly drifting off in a deep sleep.
